watchmen and their employers have already

voluntarily enter into an arrangement

for registration by the Police and the

Ordinance simply gives legal force to this

arrangeuent. So far as restrictive conditions

are imposed (oport from the necessity of

registration) subjection to them is purely

voluntary as they only aply to police witchmen

and not to private watchmen, and a watchman may

choose under which category he will register

himself.

Although the draft Ordinance propered

in 1917 speers to her ben intended to drive

away India: wtchmen, there is nothing to show

that the present Ordinance has that design. The fact that employers have voluntarily entered

into arrangements similar to those provided for

in the Ordinance su cobs hit the Ordinance

will not have any considerable effect in

restricting the field of employment for Indian

wat cimen.
